    Well, with the Pro Tour over (although more comments are always appreciated), I guess it's time to get back to the regular routine of the site. Our first non-PT2 update in over a month features an up-and-coming parkmaker who seems to have some nice enthusiasm for the game. JK presents Cape Congo, a B&M looping machine set in a Edenesque locale. Although Congo is more associated with dense jungle then tropical paradise, the design itself is pretty nice and shows a good mastery of solid theming, coaster making, and architecture. Sure, there's nothing groundbreaking, but not everything has to be super original. I really liked this for its tranquil atmosphere and different twist on the B&M looper models that we usually get.

    So congrats to JK, and hopefully, we can see even better work in the future!

    Congrats Sir, I knew you would get it from the first minute and I told ya :p
    It was just beautyful with its surroundings and all.
    The layout of the coaster is great i think, even if it's a little short though...

    nice to see a new design.

    i thought the architecture around the big wheel was really impressive.

    not only the well known parkmaker can create a design, posix, there still are underdogs you did not tought

    Congrats JK!

    How much you have improved over the past few months is staggering, and this is a major step up from your last piece of work. The coasters layout was perfect, i loved how it interacted with the pond in the middle, and the lettering for the station was fantastic. I also enjoyed the big wheel's theming, very well organised design this one. Look forward to seeing more from you in the future!

    Wow thanks alot guys. I can't believe it.

    Great writeup cork and the logo is unbelievable, seriously i could'nt like it more.

    Egghead-Thanks alot glad you had faith in me.

    Thirteen- The next round in Fury knockout will be very good to see who produces what.

    Posix- Thanks i really did like that part of the archy aswell, Probebly my favourite bit.

    X250- Thanks X i feel that i stepped up from moon mountain. Im really glad that my coaster has gone down well because they always used to be really weak.

    Once again, I'd like to say that this was done in 2 weeks, which makes the achievement even that much more impressive. It's great work, and although the log flume is a little weak, I loved all the little details like the Safari Lookout. I also love how you can search through the park and find more and more interesting "little things" that aren't evident at first glance.

    Anyway, congratulations. With this, Asteroids and some other stuff NE hasn't seen yet, I think we have a good start to the competition!

    I like the layout a lot, could have been more fine tuned in some places but that will come with experience. nice job.

    Don't hold your breathe with that :) I passed my driving test that week and had alot of course stuff and exams. I don't want to make excuses but o well. Thanks for the comments.

    Postit 2 weeks is a hard thing to acomplish but im glad ive done it as it proves i can work fast if i want.

    Ofcourse the design would have alot more details that i'd want it to have but my time in the week did'nt permit that.

    I still can't believe it got a design though so thanks alot.

    I thought the layout was good, but it just wasn't very original. I really didn't like this design as much as some of the others. It's still not the worst design ever. I'll give it a 7 out of 10.

    Everything was great except for this lil accident (which would be anything but a lil accident in real life, lol)...

    I did say my roller coaster was for dangerous entusiasts didn't I?
  • tracidEdge%s's Photo
    and besides, if i'm not misaken, b&m supports don't even have cross braces.

    anyway, it was a nice enough design, i thought the layout was pretty cool. i also really liked how you took the time to include flat rides and even a log flume with it, making it seem more like a minipark than a design. shows you care more than to just theme a design.

    Silver Star @ Europa Park and I think Goliath @ SFOG and the other one being built up in Montreol (Goliath) are also like that.

    I liked it, nice look and atmospher, your building combos are pretty good, still it seemed sorta "artist like" but just in infulance, not like you copied. Great sign for the ride btw, that was my favorite part.

    Congrats on the NE Design, I hope to see more work from you.

    yeah, but they're not looping coasters. i don't think i've seen a b&m looping coaster with cross braces. feel free to prove me wrong, though, as i'm not 100% sure of the fact.
